In CargoWise, what is the function of 'eAdaptor' in the context of ocean and air freight operations?
Answer: A middleware integration framework that exchanges standardized XML messages between CargoWise and external parties
eAdaptor is CargoWise's integration layer that uses XML-based messaging to exchange shipment data, milestones, and documents between CargoWise entities and external systems (carriers, customs, partners).
Which UN/LOCODE field must be correctly populated on a CargoWise ocean shipment to ensure accurate port-to-port routing and rate matching?
Answer: Port of Loading and Port of Discharge LOCODE
UN/LOCODE values for Port of Loading and Port of Discharge are used by CargoWise to match tariffs, generate documents, and interface with carrier systems accurately.
For a CargoWise air freight export in the US, which government system must receive the Electronic Export Information (EEI) for shipments exceeding $2,500 in value?
Answer: AES (Automated Export System) / AESDirect
EEI must be filed in the Automated Export System (AESDirect, now part of ACE) for most US exports exceeding $2,500, and CargoWise integrates with AES for this filing.
In CargoWise, what does the 'Profit Split' function allow operators to do on a consolidation with multiple house shipments?
Answer: Allocate shared master costs (e.g., ocean freight) proportionally across each house shipment for profitability reporting
Profit Split allocates master-level costs (like the FCL ocean freight charge) across individual house shipments based on volume, weight, or revenue, enabling accurate per-shipment P&L reporting.
Which CargoWise document is generated to instruct the carrier's terminal to release cargo to a nominated trucking company for an ocean import?
Answer: Delivery Order (DO)
A Delivery Order (DO) is issued by the freight forwarder or carrier authorizing the terminal to release specified cargo to the carrier or trucking company named on the document.
What is the significance of 'piece count reconciliation' during air freight breakdown at the destination CargoWise warehouse?
Answer: It verifies that the physical cargo pieces match the MAWB/HAWB declared quantities, flagging any shortages or overages
Piece count reconciliation during breakdown ensures cargo integrity, identifies discrepancies between actual and documented quantities, and initiates claims if there are shortages or damages.
In CargoWise, which ocean shipment status indicates that the Bill of Lading has been surrendered and the carrier has authorized cargo release at destination?
Answer: Released
'Released' status in CargoWise indicates the carrier has confirmed surrender of the OBL (or telex release) and cargo can be collected from the terminal.
